THICK AS A BRICK 2

Description

The legendary Ian Anderson, leader and flutist of Jethro Tull, revisits his progressive masterpiece in 2012 with Thick As A Brick 2, a bold sequel to the 1972 classic. The album follows the imagined life of Gerald Bostock, the fictional prodigy, humorously and thoughtfully exploring various paths – banker, homeless person, preacher, soldier, or ordinary man – while meditating on fate and the cyclical nature of life. Musically, the work blends Anderson's characteristic literary spirit and humor with modern prog, rich in dynamic changes and varied instrumentation. This deluxe 2LP Half-Speed Mastered edition, produced by John Webber at AIR Studios, offers superior sound from the original sources and is pressed on black vinyl. Praised as a worthy sequel to the original, Thick As A Brick 2 is a thoughtful and captivating journey, brilliantly combining imagination, music, and introspection.
